Paris Climate Treaty Withdrawal

President Trump has withdrawn the US from the Paris Climate Treaty, yesterday. Without a precise time of ratification for the treaty, there was no clear indication that a major negative event would occur to the treaty (i.e. no obvious transits against planets).

These would have indicated a potential "libertarian" event. Here they are for yesterday:
